De Bruyne Equals Gerrard PL Record

By Daily Sports Nigeria on September 18, 2022

Kevin de Bruyne has equalled Steven Gerrard’s record for Premier League assists, and he’s done it in an incredible amount of fewer games than the Liverpool legend.

Manchester City continued their undefeated start to the season on Saturday afternoon, as they easily breezed past Wolverhampton Wanderers in a 3-0 win.

The game was pretty much over as a contest as soon as it began, with Jack Grealish getting past some recent criticism to open the scoring after just 55 seconds.

Grealish was played in perfectly by De Bruyne, following a lovely back heeled pass from Phil Foden, which brought up the Beligan’s 91st assist in England’s top tier.

Erling Haaland inevitably got himself on scoresheet, with a goal from outside of the box, in the 16th minute, and the game was all but over before half time, as Nathan Collins was sent off.

Foden got himself a goal in the second half, with De Bruyne once again producing an overlapping run before crossing for the goal, getting his 92nd assist.

That put him level with Aston Villa boss Gerrard, who played most of his career in the league, and needed 504 games to get his 92 assists.

De Bruyne has now done it in 217 games, or 287 appearances less than Gerrard, which is just a ridiculous achievement in such a short amount of games.
